Look cool, is the design in the concrete or painted on? Can you do any design, such as custom stuff? Maybe a 420/pot design. l I'm sure you could sell them. Get hooked up with a furniture place and see if you can put a couple on commission, see what interest they get. Maybe an art gallery.

Yes but just not with money. I would buy them with french toast.

I painted them on using acrylics but I can do colors in the concrete as well. The last table of the planet glows in the dark like the stars. Great idea about the store.

Nice work v.s.
Have you looked into different coloring products made exclusively for cement? Embed natural elements too, like sand, glass and stones. I think you'll find something more compatible to achieve a patina -acrylic paint just won't last either. I believe professional cement countertops are sealed with some type of product as well. Cement countertops are in demand if you find the right contractor or designer to give you referrals. People want these in modern-industrial kitchens and also commercial locations.

Shit's nice...can you put a hot pan off the range on them? Just had new countertops made...says don't put anything hot on them...thought modern stuff would handle that but I guess not.

How about some specs? Thickness, dimensions, weight; any internal framework to support it? Stuff like that

Probably not I like wood better or a nice slab of granite would make a sweet table.

please understand i am only trying to be nice with the truth ........i am sorry if anything comes off dickness
i come from the foothills so crafts and items like this come up all the time for barter
if u are going for a store or put them on a consignment shop for ebay ........u need to change and improve
rem most tables and stuff like that is gotten by women ......guys will buy something they like once and use it until it falls apart rebuild then lady makes them get rid of it (no turn over no repeat from guys)
your basic skills are there true .......but they are rough (guy styles) .......u need to refine try working on pinstriping like they do with autos (this will get u a steady hand and let u pattern skills form) ......after that it is matter of looking at other hot sellers and then modify your designs (do not copy make your own using ones the ladies like the most) ........but right now your target market is guys so think about making it a game table for beer pong with a killer background ......or a poker table

think the classic van murals on a table then in black light or glow in the dark u form out a game table
in the day light looks like a cool peice or art that works for a table .....black light /no light it is a table for beer pong
think man cave stuff........sports .....beer.....whiskey........1940-1950s vintage signs neon lights
u need to figure out how long it takes u to do each kind ......that way u can do custom orders .......the hard part is going to be copyrighted images like logos and team symbols
best advice on that is match it up as much as u can then change something little so u can point out see it is not the same just looks like as i did not have a ok to do it ......some are copyrighted some are not so just google search it

You could design some concrete tables for men who would use it as a work bench in a shed or barn. I'd buy a cool table and use it as a work table in the barn.

Would you accept sexual favors for a table? Not from me, I'm asking for a friend...

It only costs $1.99 a bag of cement. Tempting.
